Battlefield 1942 v1.612 Windows server patches

EA released yesterday Battlefield 1942 as a free digital download on Origin. They included a Windows dedicated server file, so anyone can run their own dedicated server. However, EA did not do their homework, the new server version can be remotely crashed by commands, such as, game.setTeam and game.createLocalPlayer. This patched server file is fixed against those 2 exploits. Download: http://team-simple.org/download/BF1942_ … atched.zip

First: Thank you a bunch for posting these somewhere people can actually get to them. Unlike certain BF2 modders...

Anyways I am having a crash on startup issue. I think it might be related to using the old BF1942 dedicated server and not the origin based installer. Any guesses or should I just bit the bullet and use the Origin installer?

Re: Battlefield 1942 v1.612 Windows server patches

You have to download BF1942 Server v1.6 and BF1942 Server Update v1.61 for Windows. Then, overwrite BF1942_w32ded.exe with the one from any of these packages above. You don't need to use BF1942 Origin installation and it's not recommended you do so, because of some mods (Desert Combat, Forgotten Hope, etc.) incompatibility with BF1942 Origin installation.
